Current
From now on you can browse our website to your heart's content - the website is updated with all details and modalities for our "3rd International Piano Competition for Young Pianists Kronberg" on 02.04. - 04.04.2027!
As our basic concept is so successful, we have not changed anything. What is new is that the repertoire requirements for AG V, VI, VII must include a piece from the Baroque or Classical eras. The special prizes for this event will be announced in summer 2026.
Our new page "Follow-up concerts" under the menu item "Prizewinners' concerts" provides an impressive overview of our numerous activities after the competition with photos, reviews and participants' voices, also on our archive page. Let yourself be carried away by the charisma and passion of our young talents!
Inspiring
On 09.09.2025, Yuewen Yin (15, NL), Raffaello Giannini (14, BE) and Felix Wu (18, DE) impressed the audience at the second Art & Music follow-up concert. They captivated the spellbound audience with works by Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and Debussy. Their virtuosity, expressiveness and musical maturity led to rapturous applause. This concert was presented by our Artistic Director Ulrike Danne-Feldmann, as were all the other subsequent concerts.
The Taunus Sparkasse provided a fantastic ambience at its headquarters in Bad Homburg and left nothing to be desired in terms of organization and cuisine. We would like to thank them very much for the wonderful cooperation!
An equally big thank you goes to Dr. Dildei and his "Barbara and Dr. Hans-Werner Dildei Art and Culture Foundation"! He is the one who brings people together with his passion for the arts in the "Art & Music - Encounters" events he has initiated. The combination of art and music, the sensual experience of hearing, seeing and feeling, is astonishing and a ganz special experience!
The two artists Andrew Friedrich and Oliver Czarnetta showed their impressive paintings and sculptures.
Another "Art & Music" concert for invited guests will take place in Oberursel on 24.10.2025.
